Custom Gates and Smart Retrofit in Troy, Michigan
Same-day service in most of the city. Free estimates on custom fabrication and retrofits.
313 Gates builds custom iron driveway gates and installs smart-access retrofits for homeowners in Troy, Michigan, about 18 miles from our Metro Detroit base. Two requests come up more than any other in Troy: a custom gate fabricated to match an existing fence or house style, not pulled off a catalog page, and a smart retrofit that puts an existing gate operator on a phone app instead of a single clicker that only works from the driveway. Troy's higher median household income supports both as a standard ask, not an upgrade someone has to be talked into, and a gate is one layer of a property's security, not a guarantee on its own. From the Big Beaver corridor to the subdivisions around Somerset and Charnwood, the same crew that handles a routine repair call also handles full custom fabrication and retrofit work.
Every zip, every subdivision.
Gate services in Troy.
Troy jobs run heavier on design and smart-access work than any other city 313 Gates serves, and the Big Beaver corridor sees the steadiest volume of it. A repair crew and a fabrication crew both work out of the same schedule, so an estate property doesn’t wait longer for a custom quote than it would for a routine fix.
Troy questions, answered.
Do you serve all of Troy, including the estate subdivisions?
Yes. 313 Gates serves all of Troy, including the larger estate properties near the Big Beaver corridor and the subdivisions around Somerset, Charnwood, and Raintree Village. Custom fabrication and smart-retrofit work run on the same schedule as repair calls, so a property doesn't need a separate visit for design work versus the actual installation and programming.
Do I need a permit for a new custom gate in Troy?
Likely yes. Michigan generally requires a licensed contractor to pull a permit once a project's value crosses $600, which covers nearly every custom gate build. Troy sets its own specific height and setback rules on top of that state threshold. Check the metro Detroit gate permit guide before finalizing a design so the fabrication plan matches what the city will actually approve.
Can you match a custom gate to an existing fence or house style in Troy?
Yes. Custom iron gates are fabricated to match the property, its fence line, its house trim color, and its overall style, rather than pulled from a stock catalog. Bring a photo of the house or fence and 313 Gates can quote a design built around it, including matching finials, panel spacing, and finish.
Do you offer smart retrofits on gates you didn't originally install?
Yes, in most cases. Most existing gate operators, regardless of who installed the original hardware, can be retrofitted with app control, a keypad, or a video intercom without replacing the whole gate. A technician confirms compatibility with the current operator model during a free estimate before recommending a retrofit over a full replacement.
